Whereas, in Etobicoke, many of the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Community Schools are housed in our schools and act as the heart of our communities.
Whereas these affordable, local programs are offered to all age groups in our community, encourage healthy living through physical activity and offer programs to engage youth and build leadership and volunteerism
Whereas we, as residents of Etobicoke Lakeshore, value the contribution of our two community schools which are slated for possible closure: James S. Bell, John English We, the undersigned agree that the above is necessary for a safe, healthy and inclusive community.
The City of Toronto has always proudly participated in these programs and is a shining example of community partnership. We want Councillors to vote to keep these programs and services over the long term and thereby promote safe, healthy inclusive communities.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to support these schools. It is clear this is about so much more than just a piece of paper. This momentum belongs entirely to the neighbors who are refusing to let these programs fade away.

The city is always looking to cut corners but they never look at the cost to the people living here. keep the doors open.
SO IMPORTANT for our community health. my grandkids use these programs every single week.
my kids have been going here for years. cutting these programs would be a huge hit to local families who count on them after school.
james s bell is vital to this area. please do not close it.
Stop the cuts. We pay enough in taxes already

Ridiculous idea. These schools are the heart of our neighborhood and keep kids off the street. Leave them alone!
